High CPU usage causing severe FPS drops in Battlefield 6

Hi everyone,

 

I'm running into a performance issue with Battlefield 6 where the game is using an unusually high amount of CPU, which is causing severe FPS drops and stuttering during gameplay.

 

Before this started happening, the game ran smoothly. I haven't changed any hardware recently, so I'm not sure if this is related to a recent game update or something else.

 

My PC specs:

 

CPU: Intel Core i7-14700K

GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4090

RAM: 32 GB

 

I've already tried a few basic troubleshooting steps, but the issue is still there.

 

Thanks in advance!EA_Salmon​

    Hi 0uyymerr3yow​,

    Thanks for your report.

    Sorry to hear you're experiencing high CPU usage and severe FPS drops while playing Battlefield 6.

    To start with, here are a few basic troubleshooting steps you can try:

    • Verify the integrity of your game files.
    • Make sure both your graphics driver and Windows are fully up to date.
    • Close any unnecessary background applications or overlays, such as Steam Overlay, Discord Overlay, or NVIDIA Overlay.
    • Try switching between Fullscreen and Borderless Windowed mode to see if CPU usage or performance changes.

    If possible, could you also let us know:

    • Your CPU, GPU, RAM, and Windows version.
    • Your in-game graphics settings.
    • Whether the issue occurs on every map and game mode, or only in specific ones.

    You may also find these EA Help guides useful while troubleshooting:

    Thanks again for taking the time to report the issue!
